small mat made from 2.5" quilt squares

A Few Finished Projects

Posted on May 24, 2020June 11, 2020

I’ve been working on some smaller projects this last week. Here is a small mat made from a mini charm pack. I have no idea what the fabric line is but I’m very happy I had some coordinating material in my stash to bind it. It’s now on my nightstand replacing a very ugly mat that I quilted years ago.  I love the zigzag quilting I did on it.


Here are two drawstring bags I made for my husband. He wasn’t fussy about material I used so I used a print that had been languishing in my stash for too long. I used a over lock stitch on the inside seams and didn’t line them like I usually would but I think they will serve his purposes.


I’ve had the Take 4 place mat pattern for a while and finally made it using some Northcott fabric I’d received through a monthly fat quarter club that I used to participate in.

I say they look “Christmas” but hubby says they don’t. I haven’t found backing material or quilted them yet. I enjoyed making these and will definitely be making this pattern again.  It was a fun sew.

Last of all I quilted and machine bound this small 36″ square quilt. It was as fun to make as it was to finish.

This will eventually be donated to the quild’s  comfort quilt program. The backing is the same orange as the binding. I’m really happy with how this turned out.

    Lot of beautiful projects achieved! I love the mini charm quilt, and this bright and happy square quilt too. Your placemats are looking good, not really Christmas like to me either, but why not ;))

    That comfort quilt is cheerful indeed — perfect for bringing a dose of sunshine to someone who needs it! And I do love the zigzag stitching on your charm squares. It adds just the subtlest extra something to make it sparkle!

    Great looking placemats. I bet when all the Christmas decor is out, and you put these on a red or green table cloth, hubby will change his mind.

    I think your placemats look christmasy. They certainly would not look out of place with Christmas decorations on a table. But you could probably dress them differently to say Spring, or Easter or several other occasions too. Very versatile 🙂 Thanks for linking up to Colour & Inspiration Tuesday.
